County 911 outage hits Lawrence County for hours
Lawrence County residents faced a two hour plus 911 outage starting at 5 35 pm with calls failing or busy signals. Officials attributed the delay to a failed Rockwell switch and backup activation, blaming Bell Atlantic for delayed rerouting and noting partial restoration by 7 48 pm and full service by 11 pm. Local outages also affected Pittsburgh Beaver and Westmoreland counties with rerouting delays and missing caller data on screen.

Local 140 head Scot Hopkins warns staffing shortages could raise outages amid aging poles and equipment.

Blood brothers in arms inspire police to serve differently
Anthony Mangino, a New Castle constable who survived a gun assault, says giving blood saved his life after a 9mm wound. The American Red Cross hosts its fifth annual expanded blood drive sponsored by Pizza Joe’s, aiming for 125 to 150 units at the Centre Banquet Facility in downtown New Castle from noon to 6 p.m. The incident left Remnants of the slug in his rib and prompted local officers to donate blood in his honor as he recovers.
